I wish there was a feed for Arts & Letters Daily. The site dropped off my radar but I was going through a folder of old links and found it again. There’s a lot of good stuff to read there.

An early Christmas present for myself.

I went a bit crazy with Indieweb plugins and services to begin with. The fervour of the new follower. I’m cutting out the stuff I don’t need now or the the things that just don’t work the way I want them to. Manual seems best for some things.

I typed my domain name into the internet archive and I was surprised to find snapshots going back to 2002. It appears I was a more prolific blogger way back then. It’s fascinating. I’d like to get back to that frequency and type of writing again.

I really like my new camera. It’s a first-gen Sony RX100 and therefore a five year old model but it’s still the best digital camera I’ve ever owned.

Logged into 750words today after recent reminders that it’s still going. I did five months of almost daily writing there back in 2010 and then stopped. My stuff is still all there. I think I would find the service more useful now so I’m going to start again.

Book Note

I finished reading The Spy Who Came In From The Cold and realise now that I should have waited a while after watching the 1965 film version. The plot twist was still very fresh in my mind and a lot of the dialogue was used word for word in the screenplay. It felt a bit of a chore despite being an excellent book.
